he ninth annual Black History Month Gala on Saturday evening ended a month-long observance of African-American success in Bloomington and beyond. Community members gathered in black-tie attire — a wide variety of pastel pinks, royal blues and shimmery golds — at the Hilton Garden Inn for a celebration to honor the achievements of African-Americans in the city. “How many of you have been a Hoosier for a minute now?” Gala Co-host Beverly

Smith asked the 60 community members in attendance. Many in the room raised their hands and laughed. “I’m not a Hoosier by birth,” Smith said to the audience. “I’m a Garyite, but I’ve been a Bloomingtonian for 11, 12 years now. I think that qualifies me as vintage.” At the gala, Greg Tourner, the chair of the Commission on the Status of Black Males, introduced the Outstanding Black Male Leaders of Tomorrow Awards. Gabriel Jones, a senior at the Academy of Science & Entrepreneurship, was awarded the title of the 2014 Outstanding Black Male for the high school category.

During his speech, he noted how much he changed because the community believed in him. Bloomington resident Gene Shipp, 94 years old, received the Living Legend Award. Shipp served in the U.S. Army from 1942 through 1971 serving in World War II, the Korean War and the Vietnam War. He received a bronze star from President Richard Nixon for his service in the Vietnam War. After he retired from the military, he moved to Bloomington and spent a decade working as a mechanic.

2 GOP candidates removed from ballot for county primaries BY BRIAN SEYMOUR briseymo@indiana.edu

For the first time in years, Monroe County Assessor Judy Sharp will have an opponent in a general election. But her challenger might not even be eligible for the office. At Friday’s Monroe County Election Board meeting, Anthony Smith, treasurer for the Monroe County Democratic Party, challenged Republican William Ellis’ candidacy for county assessor in the Republican primary election. Smith said Ellis is unqualified because he does not have a level three assessor-appraiser certificate, which the Indiana State Code requires. The code says a township assessor may obtain the certificate upon taking office. But because the code does not say this explicitly at the county level, Smith said the allowance should not be made. Ellis was removed from the primary election ballot in a 2-1 vote because he did not have the proper certification at the time of the board meeting. In his defending argument, Ellis claimed Smith’s interpretation

“I find it unnerving that a Democrat could come into the Republicans’ (primary) and say, ‘Your candidate’s unqualified.’”

A head-on collision on State Road 46 left one man dead and four others injured Saturday morning. The driver, Usamah Zakir, 23, was traveling east from Urbana, Ill., when his car struck the westbound car, driven by Ashley Smith, 21, according to the Monroe County Sheriff ’s Department. The crash occurred on the outskirts of Ellettsville, Ind., near Flatwoods Road. Ethan Farley, 21, a passenger in Smith’s car, was ejected through the windshield and died from his injuries. Smith suffered leg injuries and was taken to the IU-Indianapolis Methodist Hospital. He was in fair condition as of Sunday. Zakir was taken to the IU-Bloomington Hospital for a possible rib injury and as of Sunday has been released. Zakir’s car contained two passengers, according to MCSD. Mohammad Solhuddin, 21, suffered a laceration to his right leg. Muhammad Roslan, 20, was taken to Methodist Hospital and as of 7 p.m. Sunday was in critical condition. Both Farley and Roslan were not wearing seat belts. “At this time we have not been able to determine the primary cause of the accident,” MCSD Chief Deputy Michael Pershing said. Indiana State Police are assisting the Sheriff ’s department in the ongoing investigation. — Dennis Barbosa

of the code would mean that the state legislature places two different levels of certification between candidates and incumbents. “I have the exact same certifications as my opponent does, so (the legislative intent) is putting a burden on challengers that is not put on incumbents, and I would question that intent,” Ellis said. “When there’s doubt, I would honestly suggest that I would not be stricken from the ballot until that is cleared up.” Smith’s challenge sparked the interest of Bryan Lemonds, a Republican serving on the Election Board. “I find it unnerving that a Democrat could come into the Republicans’ (primary) and say, ‘Your SEE DEBATE, PAGE 5

Dance workshops bring ‘master artists’ BY SUZANNE GROSSMAN spgrossm@indiana.edu

Vickie Casanova drove from Chicago, as she does almost every year, to dance with her former professor and learn from prolific African diaspora dance masters. “Here in Bloomington there is such a rich experience provided through the academia,” said Casanova, an IU alumna. “It’s a pleasure to be at my alma mater.” Casanova was one of about 70 people who attended IU’s African American Dance Company’s 16th Annual Dance Workshop Friday and Saturday. The annual workshop takes place in the Neal-Marshall Black Cultural Center and consists of 12 dance workshops taught by master artists. A dance showcase concludes the event. Casanova said she believes actually doing the traditional dances and learning from artists in the field is much more beneficial than just studying the history of the art form. “My personal experience is that when you’re studying anything to learn about it that’s one thing, but its another thing to do it,” Casanova said. Iris Rosa, an IU professor of African American and African Diaspora studies, created the workshops 16 years ago and still directs the events today. “I wanted to expose the students in the dance company at IU and surrounding communities to dance from the African diaspora,” Rosa said. “I wanted to expose

heritage?” This year, the workshop brought in master artists from Virginia, Jamaica and Cuba to teach dance traditions such as Gaga, the Cuban Rumba and West Indian, as well as other forms. The master artists have worked in professional dance for several years, and all have had director positions within their chosen styles. Most have also performed and taught internationally and earned doctoral in their fields, according to the African American Arts Institute’s website. “It’s important for students to see somebody like themselves teach and talk their language, and white students need to see someone not like themselves to get

them to a broader range of dance traditions and to know there are other black artists who can teach dance traditions.” The importance of preservation arose as a theme from this weekend’s dance workshops and panel discussion, Rosa and Casanova both said. Rosa said she remembers a student asking the panelists if it’s the dancers’ responsibility to preserve the traditions of African diaspora dance forms, and how to do so. “I think it’s important to keep exposing students to this type of tradition, because preservation is very important,” Rosa said. “And how do you preserve a tradition if you don’t know the tradition, even from your own

a broader type of experience,” Rosa said. In upcoming years, Rosa said she plans to make the workshops into more of a conference event. She said she would like to bring in more artists and to get more participation to improve exposure of African American and African diaspora dance. “People think there’s no technique in learning African diaspora dance forms, but there is technique in all of it, and it has meaning,” Rosa said. “It’s more than just movement. It’s very important to validate these African diasporic forms just like we validate Euro-centric dance forms.” A fourth-year graduate student in sociology, Shandu

Foster started dancing with the company last spring. “It’s a great opportunity to learn from the artists,” Foster said. “It’s very encouraging, and the artists are very up front about what they do and why they do it.” Foster said he appreciated the openness of the artists and the chance to talk with them in a casual setting, not just as instructor to student. “For just as much moving as we do, there were equal parts talking and learning,” Foster said. Foster said he appreciated talking about how the movements they learned had social and political meaning in the society from which they came. “For young people who just like to dance, thinking about preserving tradition forces us to keep in our minds that dancing is more than just movement,” Foster said. The weekend concluded with a showcase of the dances participants learned in the workshops. Foster said he felt exhilarated and surprised because the house was completely full. Rosa also said the event was a highlight of the workshop, because she loves seeing students engage in a dance form they’ve never experienced. “It’s my responsibility to expose students and the larger community to dance so the differences can be appreciated, recognized and validated,” Rosa said. “It makes for a better, well-rounded dancer, but it also makes for a better, well-rounded citizen.”

IU center measures Congress approval ratings BY ALLISON WAGNER allmwagn@indiana.edu

An opinion survey conducted by the IU Center on Congress last week found 88.3 percent of citizens disapprove of how Congress is operating. The survey, though recently released, was conducted in 2013. The Center on Congress at IU focuses on how constituents and congress interact and often conducts opinion polls to see how the public is responding to Congress, according to a press release. “I think the citizens are disappointed because they feel that Congress is not dealing effectively with the problems that they confront in their daily lives,” said Lee Hamilton, Center on Congress director and former Congressman. The survey also concluded 40 percent of respondents do not believe Congress understands the interests and views of the people it represents, according to the press release. “What is relevant to people’s lives are the problems they wrestle with everyday — how to take care of their family, how do they keep good health in the family, what kind of arrangements can be made for retirement,” SEE CONGRESS, PAGE 3

Students resurrect debate Former Cosmo editor talks team after 20-year absence careers, college, hookups BY SIERRA GARDNER sigardne@indiana.edu

After 20 years of no activity, IU’s speech and debate team is up and running again. Junior Colin Landberg and sophomore Mike Blomquist, co-presidents of the Indiana Forensics Team, re-assembled the team from the ground up this year. “We were the only team at state that didn’t have a director or buses,” Landberg said. “Most teams had more members and their food discounted, also.” The team currently has a roster of 10, but the funding from the IU Student Association allows for only three people to compete. Landberg said they decided to rebuild the team because they thought it would help IU students improve their communication skills. “It’s an academic sport,” he said. “We believe that IU has the talent pool to succeed.” Landberg and Blomquist traveled Feb. 15 to the Ivy Tech Community College campus in Indianapolis to compete in the Indiana Speech Tournament. The topics the IU team competes in are prose interpretation, after-dinner speaking, and dramatic and poetry interpretation. The team’s results placed them at sixth in state. “It makes me happy that we are able to compete,”

Landberg said. Even so, he gets a little nervous before competing. “Over the years I have learned to use the nervous energy in a positive way,” he said. Blomquist is majoring in telecommunications and script writing. He competed in the topics of prose, poetry and after-dinner speaking. After-dinner speaking consists of humorous, original speech, Blomquist said. “You try to make a serious point through humor.” Blomquist said. Blomquist placed sixth in after-dinner speaking and third in poetry interpretation.

UP NEXT The Indiana Forensics Team will compete in the championships in Illinois April 18-21.

Landberg said he would encourage students to join the team to improve their communication skills. “Communication skills are beneficial no matter what career path you choose,” he said. “Sharpening those skills is always important.” Blomquist said he agreed. “I think with speech and debate, there is something for everyone.” Blomquist said.

Fun. Fearless. Female. “What are your three words?” author and former Cosmopolitan Editorin-chief Kate White asked the audience, referring the magazine’s infamous tagline. As the keynote speaker for the Women in Business “Have it All!” conference Saturday, White drew upon her personal rise up the magazine masthead and 14-year experience running the top-selling magazine on newsstands to dish out her bold career advice. Stressing the importance of branding yourself, “going big or going home” and focusing on the bigger picture were just a few of the tips White shared. The Indiana Daily Student sat down with White before her lecture to discuss even more of what it takes to become a “gutsy girl.” IDS If you were in college today, what would be the first step you would take to getting where you are now?

White On the one hand I want to say bravo to women who don’t feel guilty Katie White about sex. Helen Gurley Brown, when she revolutionized Cosmo in the ’60s, had two goals she told me — one was to tell women that it was okay to have sex without being married, and two, it was okay to be happy without being married. The flip side of that is you have to understand men and women think differently about sex. And unfortunately there’s a double standard, and as women we’re judged and shamed sometimes by our sexual behavior. And so, as long as you’re aware of the prejudices that still exist in our society, you’re entitled to your sexual freedom. I think it’s really important for us to be informed about sexuality. To make it seem like it’s dirty to be providing that kind of information, to me, is just incredibly immature. I salute Gen X and Gen Y for their lack of intimidation SEE COSMO, PAGE 3

White You have to be proactive. You’ve got to go after things like internships, but more than that you have to figure out a way to stand out in the pack when you’re doing it. What I did in my own way was really try to win the Glamour magazine Top Ten College Women contest. Part of entering was writing an essay about what your goals were in life, and I thought, “I’ve got to win.” This is going to be the way I get into magazines, because I didn’t know any other way. And so I wrote an essay on why I had no goals — just to be provocative — because I thought, “That’s going to help me stand out.” And of course by the time you get to the end you realize, “Yeah, I actually do have goals,” but I think my point was that I just wanted to be open to the future. I ended up winning the contest. And for me, that little lesson about not doing exactly what you were told to do in the instructions has stayed with me forever.

Each contestant had a chosen platform, and the women looked to promote awareness of issues like youth HIV/AIDS, skin cancer and distracted driving. Burghardt’s platform was IU Dance Marathon participation and awareness. “Having grown up with parents who really pushed for giving back to the community and getting involved, I knew that IU Dance Marathon was something I had to get involved with,” she said. “I think it’s an organization that everyone should have the opportunity to be involved with because it is so rewarding. The more participation, the more awareness, and then we can save a child’s life.” Burghardt was awarded a $1,500 scholarship, as well as smaller gifts given by local businesses, such as Bloomington Kiwnanis, MarDon Salon and Mary M’s/Walnut House Flowers.

But Congress didn’t get the only bad grade. Survey-takers gave themselves a D-plus for contacting Congress about issues and following what Congress is doing. This lack of reaching out by constituents is a big reason they’re not being heard by Congress, Hamilton said. “I think citizens are self critical,” Hamilton said. “They recognize the obligations of citizenship, which require voting and being informed and contacting their representatives and working to improve their communities.

Miss America Pageant, but did not make it to the semifinal rounds. Last year’s Miss IU runner-up, Mallory Essig, played host to the event. “The talent was overwhelming,” she said. “You never know what it’s going to be like coming into a local, but all these girls were amazing. They came out and gave it their all and I’m betting you that made the judge’s decision that much harder.” The pageant is designed to provide contestants the opportunity to gain experience in leadership, performing arts skills and interviewing. Public Relations Chair Lauren Mnayarji said it is most notably an opportunity to do philanthropic work and give back to the Bloomington community. “It’s really something that gets students to know pageantry isn’t all the glitz and glamor,” she said. “Yeah, they

have the show for everyone to see, but whoever wins is doing a lot of community service and really working hard.” Friends, family and others attending the event were encouraged to bring nonperishable food items to donate to the Hoosier Hills Food Bank. Nearly 200 cans were collected in all. Aside from the winner, a first runner-up and a second runner-up were named. Other awards included the People’s Choice Award and Miss Congeniality. Scholarships of $250 were given out to both the interview winner and talent winner. Essig said she felt the long-running event once again ran well and was very successful. “We’re a student organization, so we try to get as much done as we can,” she said. “I couldn’t be happier and I’m really happy to pass down my crown to Erika.”

not fulfill all the obligations they should. They not only mark the congress down, they mark themselves down as well.” The press release acknowledged that although the public recognizes it’s not fulfilling its duties by seeking open communication with their congress members, that does not stop the public from critiquing them. Professor Edward G. Carmines, who also works with the Center on Congress, said in the release constituents are dealing with a disconnect to Congress. “I think the major thing is that probably the public has an exalted view of what congress can get accomplished,” Carmines said. “They have high expectations, maybe too high, as to what can get accomplished. On the other hand the congress does not perform very admirably.” Constituents don’t believe Congress is focusing on the key problems, leading constituents to feel Congress is less relevant in their

lives, he said. “The negative evaluation of Congress has been a persistent stable of our politics for over a decade,” Carmines said. To solve the issue of negative reaction toward Congress, Hamilton said new legislation will need to be passed. “They flat out just don’t think the congress is doing their jobs,” Hamilton said. “Basically what the congress will have to do is produce and become more relevant in people’s lives.” But Carmines said the public doesn’t understand the challenges Congress faces in order to pass legislation, because it represents many different views and has to pass legislation in regards to them all. He said it’s easier said than done. “It’s not simply voting,” Carmines said. “It’s about them being able to compromise. I sometimes don’t think they recognize how difficult it is for Congress to comprise and get things done.”

NOW ACCEPTING NEW PATIENTS

YOUR BODY CANHEAL ITSELF

BY ANNA HYZY

akhyzy@indiana.edu The group agreements were scrawled on the chalkboard of the classroom in the Woodburn Hall basement — be honest and respectful, listen to understand, refrain from interrupting. Students had the opportunity to gain one credit hour in just one day by participating in civil discourse on the topic of national security at the Political and Civic Engagement issues forum Saturday. Students were also required to turn in pre-forum and post-forum papers. PACE is a five-year-old certificate program at IU, and the issues forum — PACE-C 400 — has been offered every year since the program’s creation. “I think it’s critical to find ways to discuss and resolve critical and important questions, and it’s not enough to simply care about them,”said Michael Grossberg, professor of history and law and director of the PACE certificate program. The forum combines small-group deliberation and forum discussion with expert panelists. Grossberg said the program tends to attract two particular types of students. The first is students studying things or looking for careers that engage directly with public issues, Grossberg said. The other is a student who will simply lead a life as a very active citizen after graduating.

One of the primary objectives of the forum is to help students explore more thoroughly their ideas about the public issue the forum addresses, Grossberg said. “It’s so easy to get stuck in our own perspectives,” said Lisa-Marie Napoli, lead instructor for this year’s forum. Napoli and a student committee began planning for this year’s forum in October, meeting three times last semester and a few more times since this semester began, Napoli said. According to Napoli, students are very involved in running the forum, with a student planning and a student moderating team. Catherine Krege, a junior in the PACE program majoring in Spanish and international studies, served as a student moderator. Her job was to remain neutral and guide the two small-group deliberation sessions. She has moderated for the past two years. “I’ve definitely enjoyed it,” Krege said. “I think it’s been a great opportunity to see students interact in the process.” The PACE program focuses heavily on the development of democratic deliberation, Grossberg said. Krege described the concept as the process of getting to know other people’s opinions and getting to know one’s own opinions. Napoli said she saw the skill as key to developing an effective democracy.

“If more citizens have that type of skill, it really leads to a healthier democracy and society,” Napoli said. Students were randomly divided into small groups and assigned a color which corresponded to a classroom in Woodburn. Krege moderated the orange group’s discussion Saturday. After reviewing the agenda and group agreements, the group delved into discussion. Disagreements arose and voices were raised, but tones remained calm and discussion on-topic. Moderators are trained to keep tensions low and conversation productive, Napoli said. After their first deliberation, a panel comprised of four IU professors discussed national security in relation to economic, law and relations with Russia. Followed by brief presentations by each panelist, students were invited to ask questions and engage in a more active discussion. The forum was open to all undergraduate students, regardless of whether they are enrolled in PACE. Napoli said she has heard students say the forum increases their faith in democracy and increases their civic capacity. “We have a lot of very bright, passionate students here,” Grossberg said. “And we want to give them the opportunity to make the world a better place.”

The bill now goes to Gov. Jan Brewer, who has refused to state her position on the bill. If the governor needs any swaying, equal protection under the law and historical shame might be two things to consider.

What we watch on TV at a particular moment of time tells us something about our society, and what it’s telling us now is that Americans hate Congress. The public approval rating of Congress stands at 12 percent. Last October, the approval rating was in the single digits. The number of people who support Congress at the moment is probably about the same as the number of people who still like Justin Bieber. Not coincidentally, there are currently eight big-budget TV shows set in D.C., five of which are present-day dramas. Although few viewers — myself included — are gullible enough to accept a fictional story as fact, these political shows are gaining popularity. We don’t necessarily believe that it does happen, but that it could happen. And that’s because it’s not too far off from our actual government, or at least how we perceive it. We wouldn’t want to drop everything and bingewatch 13 episodes if the idea of a corrupt and merciless government wasn’t believable. Contrast the devious “House of Cards” with another successful political drama, “The West Wing,” which ran from 1999-2006. Rather than the Frank Underwood just committed murder/manipulated the President/was scheming this entire time moments that define “House of Cards,” “The West Wing” is a pretty jolly show. White House staffers order Chinese late at night and banter with the president, and international incidents are solved with frank conversations. “The West Wing” was wildly popular during an incredibly different political climate, pre-Sept. 11 and pre-recession. Now, we as television viewers can no longer believe in an honest politician. The concept is an oxymoron. According to some insiders, “House of Cards” is not that far off from present-day reality. One of the biggest inaccuracies noted was that an education bill could not be passed as quickly as it is on the show. It’s just a minor detail, considering that a U.S. congressman commits murder in the first season. Regardless, the show’s overall implications — that government is corrupt, and politicians care more about power than constituents — reflect how we as a nation feel about current politics. It’s not a good feeling. “House of Cards” does not have to be completely realistic to demonstrate that Americans are more likely to see today’s politicians as the bad guys. And the scary part is that if a real Frank Underwood exists, you’re probably not going to find out about it. He is a master at covering his tracks. — cjellert@indiana.edu Follow columnist Caroline Ellert on Twitter @cjellert.

ILLUSTRATION BY GRIFFIN LEEDS | IDS

WE SAY: Let Girl Scouts see the green of their entrepreneurial efforts In a move that has raised some eyebrows, one enterprising Girl Scout decided to open up shop outside of a medical marijuana dispensary last week. With her mother’s permission, 13-year-old Danielle Lei of San Francisco set up a small booth of the signature Tagalongs, Thin Mints and Samoas across from the Green Cross. Within two hours, Danielle sold more than 117 boxes — nearly a box a minute — making the idea a most profitable venture. Though the Editorial Board is impressed with this young girl’s innovation and willingness to think outside the cookie box, we acknowledge the issue is slightly more complicated than pure sales. At the end of the day, the issue is whether children selling baked goods in front of marijuana dispensaries is justified, in one way or another. First, it calls into question the attitudes behind the whole cookieselling tradition. The money raised goes to charities, the Girl Scouts

organization and the troop itself, and the competition doesn’t have a reputation of being cutthroat. Critics of Danielle’s method have asked why she maintains such a dollars-first approach to a normally fun-oriented fundraiser. The Editorial Board acknowledges this, but instead believes we should encourage entrepreneurial girls interested in more than just playing with dolls. Second, the situation brings a child close — metaphorically and literally — to the ongoing debate about marijuana prohibition in America. The Editorial Board, like many of Danielle’s other critics, is hesitant to deem the idea of children spending regular time outside of dispensaries as a-OK. However, barring her from such an activity sends the message loud and clear to the world that marijuana use, both medical and recreational, is immoral and wrong. Similarly, we believe

those calling her earned dollars “drug money” lack a fundamental knowledge of term. In such a case, ventures such as Baked! of Bloomington would be veritable cartels. This is the same logic that Danielle’s mom, Carol, maintains. While some are questioning her parenting practices, Carol believes selling cookies in front of the dispensery is not only a great opportunity for business, but also one for talking to her daughter about different types of drug use. She makes it a point to regularly take out both of her daughters to varying areas of San Francisco to sell the cookies in an attempt to teach them about all walks of life. She also makes sure to stay with them at all times so they’re safe. The mother organization itself, the Girl Scouts of America, has been oddly quiet during the whole ordeal. Their branch in Colorado posted an unofficial tweet lambasting the

idea, but the official headquarters remains silent and has not touched the individual case. This in itself might suggest a quiet support for their newfound young businesswoman, as Girl Scouts headquarters are normally quick to publicly acknowledge something perceived as an issue. Though the Editorial Board is concerned for the safety of children when drugs are brought into the equation, however distantly, we ultimately commend Danielle for her creativity and tenacity in her cookie selling. We believe that her obvious affinity for business should be encouraged in an often male-dominated profession. Empowering young women to achieve their dreams is what Girl Scouts is all about, and Danielle represents the best of it. — opinion@idsnews.com Follow the Editorial Board on Twitter @ids_opinion.

The Sochi Olympics have turned into a circus of homoerotic jokes, rainbow-studded advertisements and protests against Russia by pro-gay Olympic viewers. Russia instituted its anti-gay policies June 30, 2013, making it illegal to possess, create or support propaganda of “nontraditional sexual relations to minors.” The law, dubbed the “no promo homo” law by pro-gay activists, has sparked an increase in anti-gay violence in Russia. Gangs, which continue to equate homosexuals with pedophiles, have attacked, humiliated, raped and tortured gay men. When I write columns, I always find it compelling how blind our own citizens are to the problems facing American society. Sure, in liberal little Bloomington we’re all safe and sound, but that’s not the case in other places. Nine states in the United States have laws similar to the “no promo homo” laws passed in Russia, while an additional two ban anti-bullying policies for gay students in schools. And while Utah, Arizona, Texas, Oklahoma, Missouri, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and South Carolina have never been considered bastions of liberal ideology, it’s shocking they have laws in place that in some form or another criminalize homosexuality. Some — not all, but some — Republicans yell and scream about how the government should leave citizens alone, but only if those citizens happen to be rich or corporations. When it comes to abortion or homosexuality, those same Republicans often claim it’s the government’s right to defend societal values. Gay rights, it seems, is one of the last battlegrounds in which religion can be used as a major weapon. And this religious ammunition is effective; it is widespread and it is disgusting. As someone who is both gay and a devout Christian, it’s disheartening to see my own God used against me. I digress, however, because I’m not disturbed the most by the use of religion to attempt to deny me the rights shared by all heterosexuals. What I’m disturbed by most is the apathy of our own citizens.. In the U.S., it seems, we have established a status quo of being ignorant and blind to societal issues that plague us. We regard these issues as unsolvable, unimportant or simply too difficult to discuss. We can see this even at our own University, where student government elections are lucky to even get some attention from the student body. And, unfortunately, when we look at the country as a whole, many of us decide that we cannot be bothered to understand what we need to improve upon as a country. The only patriotic things we can do are vote and at least have a basic understanding of our government and our society. Otherwise, we’re no better than Vladimir Putin’s Russia. — ajguenth@indiana.edu

Wilt outspells bee contestants BY EMILY ERNSBERGER emelerns@indiana.edu

“Nachtmusik,� a German word for serenade, was music to the ears of a Martinsville East middle schooler during the weekend. Alexandria Wilt won the 11th annual IU Bee, a regional competition for the Scripps Annual Spelling Bee on Saturday. Wilt, an eighth-grader at Martinsville East Middle School, outspelled 26 other contestants in 15 rounds and confirmed her victory in a championship round by spelling “nachtmusik.� “I just wanted to scream,� Wilt said about how she felt upon winning the bee. Wilt will travel to Washington, D.C., in May to compete in the national competition. Twenty-seven students from five area counties competed in front of a completely full auditorium in the Monroe County Public Library. Contestants ranged from grades four to eight. Some donned their Sunday best, and others wore everyday jeans and fleeces. Some were eliminated on their first words, parting the stage after the proctors’ routine, “I’m sorry.� Some stayed to hear the bell’s ding affirm a correct spelling many times over. Pronouncer Allan

Martinsville East Middle School eighth grader Alexandria Wilt, spells “nachtmusik� to win the third annual IU Bee, co-sponsored by the School of Journalism and the School of Education, Saturday at the Monroe County Public Library auditorium. Wilt will compete in the Scripps National Spelling Bee in May.

Murphy gave words of encouragement at the beginning of the competition. “This is a room full of champions,� Murphy said. To enter the regional competition, spellers had to win their school or local bees. Wilt said she won her school’s bee a few weeks ago. Wilt said going to the national championship has always been a dream of hers. “There was a girl from my town who went to D.C. twice in a row, and I looked up to her,� she said. As the winner, Wilt’s trip to D.C. is paid for, as well as for one of her parents. Wilt

Board of Education releases public draft of new standards BY SYDNEY MURRAY slmurray@indiana.edu

Drafts of the new Indiana Academic standards for math and English/language arts were released to the public last week for comment. Last spring, the Indiana General Assembly passed House Enrolled Act 1427, which asked the State Board of Education to conduct a review and implement the new standards by July 1, 2014. The SBOE must review current standards as well as establish college and career readiness standards. College and career ready panels have worked to revise the education standards and will look at them again once the public has had a chance to weigh in on the drafts. SBOE member Brad Oliver said he thinks the panels did their job well but said he doesn’t think the standards are complete quite yet. He said he doesn’t think some standards are fitting with their grade levels but said he does think the panels made each standard understandable and specific. “The standards seem to be clear statements on what students should know and do,� Oliver said. Standards are divided by grade level, then further by the different “strands� of the subject students must know. Some of the math strands are number sense, geometry, measurement, calculus and discrete mathematics. Some of the English/language arts strands are reading, language, writing and speaking and listening. Each strand is then divided up into a content area topic. The content area topics are specific to each grade level and what students at that age should be learning. For example, under the reading strand, a content area topic for kindergarten states the students must understand the English language moves left to right across a page. Under the same strand for fourth grade, a content area topic states the students must “apply grade-level phonics and word analysis skills in decoding single words.� The public has until March 12 to complete a survey online

Public input For more information about the public input sessions, or to comment online about the standards, visit doe.in.gov.

about these new standards. Public input sessions will take place Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday in different cities in Indiana. After the public comment period, the standards will go back to the panels as well as the Indiana Education Roundtable. Oliver said the board has also invited national experts such as James Milgram, a mathematics professor at Stanford University , to evaluate the standards. SBOE member Andrea Neal said there are many solid parts of the new standards, but there are still some things she hopes to see changed. Neal teaches language arts and U.S. history at St. Richard’s Episcopal School in Indianapolis. So far, Neal has read all the language arts standards up to eighth grade. She said she does not believe Indiana has drafted the best standards yet for Hoosier children. She said there were places in the Common Core State Standards filled with jargon and some of that language is still prevalent in the new standards. “To me, that is not understandable by a parent,� Neal said. “I find that unnecessarily confusing.� She also said she believes some of the standards micromanage teachers and some are not developmentally appropriate for grade level. One example of a speaking and listening standard for kindergarten is students must “participate in collaborative conversations with various partners about appropriately complex topics and texts with peers and adults in small and larger groups.� Neal said she thinks the college and career readiness standards are being forced on kindergartners. She said she hopes parents look at these standards because if they don’t understand them, there is a problem. Neal expressed happiness, though, that these standards have become a topic of conversation in Indiana.

and her parents, Chris and Cindy, are not sure which one will go yet. “That’s where the fight begins,� Chris said, jokingly. Wilt also won a year-long subscription to the Britannica Encyclopedia, a MerriamWebster Third New International Dictionary and a 2014 United States mint proof set. Runner-up Jacob Lacanienta, a fifth-grader at Summit Elementary School, also won a Merriam-Webster Third New International Dictionary. Teresa White, director of the IU High School Journalism Institute, handed out the

awards, telling Wilt she could use the dictionary to study for the national bee. Wilt said she practiced orally spelling words from a practice packet, which featured her winning word. Her parents said she used an online program from Scripps to help prepare. Cindy said this was Wilt’s fourth time competing in the regional bee. “We knew she could do it,� Cindy said.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 ‘Your candidate’s unqualified,’� Lemonds said. It is for the party to decide whether a candidate is unqualified for their primary, Lemonds said later outside the meeting. Lemonds added Smith’s challenge was not an independent idea. “He was put up by Judy to do that,� he said. He went on to add that Sharp does not have her level three assessor-appraisal certification, the certification the Indiana State Code required Ellis to have before filing for candidacy. To his understanding, Ellis has failed the test three times, Lemonds said, adding he thinks Sharp doesn’t want anyone to challenge her because she can’t pass the test herself. The issue does not really bring forth a question of conspiracy in local government, Republican County Chairman Steve Hogan said. Rather, it is an opportunity to address the issue that the legislature is requiring

different qualifications between the incumbent and her opponents. There was precedent behind the board’s ruling, Hogan said. “When is that good government, and when is that meddling?� Hogan asked. “That’s the argument.� Ellis will have the level three assessor-appraiser certification before the primary election, Hogan said. The challenge would be more appropriate if he were a candidate for the general election and still did not meet the code’s requirements. Sharp ran for the office before the State Code required that candidates have the current credentials. “She was grandfathered into it,� Lemonds said. She did the job up to the point that was necessary at the time, and the rules changed, protecting her from new requirements. Sharp is not immune from the new code, however. State law requires she obtain the certification by 2016. Sharp could not be reached for comment.

It should not matter that there are two different standards for the current assessor and the challenger, Smith said in rebuttal. The code is clear, and Ellis, to date, does not meet the qualifications to run for this office as stated in the Indiana State Code. A second case heard the statement of Cathleen Smith and her husband Michael Smith against Indian Creek Township trustee candidate Le Ann Freeman. Freeman currently owes more than $2,000 to Richland Township by Order of the Court for allegedly being wrongly paid for leave time. “A person may not hold an office of trust or profit unless the person has accounted for and paid over as required by law all sums of public money for which the person was liable as a collector or holder,� according to the Indiana State Code. Freeman denied any wrongdoing. “I cashed a check that was issued to me,� Freeman said. The issue is currently being worked out, she said. But according to the court, she

still owes money. The board made a unanimous decision to remove Freeman from the primary. “We have to rule on what exists today,� Farrell said. Although Ellis and Freeman have been stricken off the primary election ballot, they can still campaign and run in the general election, said Riley Parr, chairman of the College Republicans at IU. Both candidates ran unopposed in the Republican primary, and there is now a valid vacancy. They can still run in the general election if they meet what has been required of them. Ellis has to attain his series three assessor-appraiser certification, and Freeman has to pay off her debts. That’s not the only stipulation, however. The Precinct Committee will organize a caucus between the date of the primary election and the end of June to debate and elect the best representative. “I fully expect to be on the ballot in November,� Ellis said. “I’m focused on the future of Monroe County and giving the voters a choice.�

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 we were able to get the win tonight in a highly contested game against a team that has obviously proven this year that they are capable of some really good things,” Crean said. Crean said his team’s upand-down performances — victories over then-No. 3 Wisconsin and then-No. 10 Michigan preceded a threegame losing streak — has displayed the difficulty of collecting wins in a deep Big Ten Conference. “That’s what makes this league so hard, but it’s also what makes every win so gratifying,” Crean said. “It’s what makes every win so incredibly, not just valuable in standings and things, but precious because they’re so hard to come by. Especially when you go on the road.” IU was paced in scoring by a quartet of Hoosiers — senior forward Will Sheehey, sophomore guard Kevin “Yogi” Ferrell, freshman guard Troy Williams

and freshman forward Noah Vonleh — who each scored 12 points. Vonleh, the Big Ten’s seven-time Freshman of the Week, fell just shy of recording his 11th double-double of the season by adding eight rebounds, but it was Williams who drew praise for his performance. Crean said he has seen development from the freshman, and it was Williams’ non-statistical contributions that made the biggest difference for the Hoosiers despite his 12-point, zero-turnover performance. “I think he’s improving all the time,” Crean said. “I think that tonight, the way that he played, his footwork was really good. He played fast, but he didn’t play in a hurry ... Didn’t try to take shots that weren’t there.” Williams said Saturday’s victory will give himself — and the rest of the Hoosiers — confidence moving into their final five regular-season games. “Not just for me, I feel like it was more of a team thing,” he said.

Sophomore Kevin “Yogi” Ferrell watches his shot fall through the hoop during IU’s game against Northwestern on Saturday. Ferrell finished with 12 points in IU’s win against Northwestern.

“We came off three or four losses. Winning this game gives us confidence for our next three games, especially ranked teams. So I feel like we picked up our confidence — now we have to pick it up to another level.” The Hoosiers will finish their regular-season schedule with five games in the next two weeks, four of which come against ranked opponents. With that grueling schedule in mind, Crean said he will keep his players fo-

cused on making strides as a team rather than looking at results. “I think it’s really easy this time of year to get so focused on the games,” he said. “You can get so focused on the games that you can lose sight or lose that time of making sure that you’re really locking in on what your players need to get better at not only as a team, but individually.” Follow reporter Alden Woods on Twitter @acw9293.

a deacon at Second Baptist Church. Shipp said he loved every minute of the gala. “I was honored tonight,” Shipp said. “I’m grateful that I moved to Bloomington. We have come a long way, and we have a long way to go.” IU alumna Camisha Sims said she came to the event to support not only her dad — Jim Sims, the co-host of the gala — but to also support the successes of her community. “I don’t think people realize that there is a black community in Bloomington outside of Indiana University,” Sims said. Landon Jones, called a “21st Century Renaissance man” by Tourner, received the 2014 Outstanding Black Male award for the adult category. Jones, a master’s graduate student at IU studying African studies, is active in connecting graduate students to young people in the community in a wide variety of activities. “Black History Month is progression,” Jones said. “It’s physical and mental progression. Something that I find very important as we do events like these is that people are getting involved and understanding that it really does take

people working together to bring about positive and peaceful results.” Jones, who volunteers with Big Brothers Big Sisters, brought his “little” to the event with him. “He’s a freshman at Bloomington North High School,” he said. “The reason why we were matched together is because we’re both from Chicago. He’s been living here for about a year, and I definitely want to make sure his experience as a man of color is a positive one. “I brought him here because he can win this award. It’s not a far-fetched idea for any young male, especially young black males. When you do good, you’re rewarded for it and also there is success to it.” At the end of the event, Smith came back on stage and told the audience to not let another 365 days go by without contributing to each other’s lives and to enjoy the evening. “I’m going to turn my shoes over to some Nike flip-flops and eat my strawberry cake, but I want you to enjoy dancing and having a great time fellowshipping with your friends and family,” Smith said. “Have a great evening.” Follow reporter Aaricka Washington on Twitter @aarickawash.

Dedication defined

Water polo players endure grueling physical play, long practices and extended travel for sport STORY AND GRAPHIC BY JENNIFER SUBLETTE | jasublet@indiana.edu PHOTOS BY AMELIA CHONG | aychong@indiana.edu

The whistle blew and a ref threw the ball to the middle of the pool. Swimming strongly, the water polo players churned the water as they dashed for the ball. Wrestling, kicking and swimming back and forth across the 25-meter long pool, IU’s women’s water polo team gets no breaks. They tread water and swim nonstop all throughout the 32-minute game. No holding the edge. No touching the bottom. Saturday, the Hoosiers played Michigan, one of their biggest rivals. They won 12-5. Rebecca Gerrity, junior utility — an all-purpose position, both defense and offense — said the team’s training prepares it for the physical challenges of the game. “We build a lot of stamina up actually,” she said. “In the heat of the moment you don’t realize how tired you are because of the adrenaline you have going.” The grueling nature of the sport — no pauses during games, the brutal physical battles between players and the unshakable time commitment — requires the Hoosiers practice three hours, six days a week. The women of the IU water polo team sacrifice body and mind for a sport that demands dedication and sacrifice for players to stay competitive. IU Coach Barry King said the difficulty of the sport can be hard to grasp by those who haven’t tried it. Aerobic demand and wrestling bouts occur on each end. “It’s a wholly encompassed physical experience that not many people can relate to,” he said. In water polo, players get only two-minute breaks between quarters. King said players compete for at least 25 minutes with no real rest. “In every other American-ized sport, the whistle blows, we stop, we reset and then the action starts again,” King said. “Here the whistle blows and the most important action starts when the clock’s not running.” Because of water polo’s physical nature, fouls are called often. It’s normal during a game for players to get bloody noses or have their caps pulled off. But unlike football or basketball, fouls don’t stop the action. A whistle is blown, the players in error back off, all while play continues. In some cases, a player will shoot a penalty while the rest of the players from both teams swim to the other side to reset. Practices, though long in duration, aren’t as physical. It’s time for honing skills. “The game is a lot more violent than the practices,” Gerrity said. “It’s a lot easier to take the aggression out on the other team. It’s a very aggressive sport and it’s a good release of emotions sometimes.” The team’s lengthy practices involve conditioning and weight training two days a week during the regular season.

Sheehey leads Hoosiers to road win BY JOHN BAUERNFEIND jogbauer@indiana.edu

Leading the Northwestern Wildcats (12-16, 5-10) 56-51 with less than a minute to play, IU senior forward Will Sheehey — IU men’s basketball’s most recent addition to its 1,000-point club — iced the game with a 3-pointer from the wing. “(It was a) big three,” IU Coach Tom Crean said. They were Sheehey’s 11th and 12th points of the game and his first 3-pointer. He had missed previous 3-point attempts, but he displayed confidence in his shot after the game. “I mean, I think every one’s going in,” Sheehey said. “Every time I shoot I think it’s going in. Why shoot if you don’t think so?” IU (15-11, 5-8) left Evanston, Ill., with a 61-56 win, the second road victory of the season. Sheehey played a large role in the Hoosiers’ win, totaling 12 points on 5-of11 shooting, nine of which came during the second half. He also pulled in six rebounds and recorded two steals. From the three minute and 54 second mark in the first half to the 12 minute and 35 second mark in the second, IU went on an 18-4 scoring run that saw five different Hoosiers score. It put the Hoosiers in a familiar situation — a second-half lead on the road during conference play. IU never wilted, but Northwestern closed the deficit to four points after a Tre Demps layup with two minutes and 21 seconds remaining.

MEN’S BASKETBALL (15-11, 5-8)at. Northwestern (12-16, 5-10) W, 61-56 During IU’s next possession, freshman wing Troy Williams scored a layup assisted by fellow freshman Noah Vonleh. After Demps made one of two free throws during Northwestern’s next possession, Sheehey connected on his game-deciding 3-pointer. Northwestern Coach Chris Collins said he thought Sheehey’s play was crucial for IU. “We wanted to test them with their jump shooting, and for the most part it got us back in,” Collins said. “But I thought Sheehey’s baskets were really big for them. He did what a senior does.” Despite picking up his fourth foul with five minutes and 14 seconds remaining in the game, Sheehey managed to play sound defense the rest of the game without fouling. He did, however, struggle with turnovers. IU turned the ball over seven times against Northwestern, its lowest total of the season. Sheehey, who had three of the team’s seven turnovers, was able to laugh about it afterwards. “Yeah, I think I had half, so that’s pretty good if one guy can get half,” Sheehey said. The win moves the Hoosiers into ninth place in the Big Ten, but more importantly, it ends what had been a string of unfortunate events. After the game, Crean

said he was glad to see Sheehey hit his 3-pointer at the end of the game because of how hard he works. “It’s fantastic for Will to make that shot because he works so hard,” Crean said. “His leadership’s been so good. He had a long week.” Crean said Sheehey was very disappointed after IU’s

losses to Purdue and Penn State. “He’s a literal ‘heart-andsoul’ guy,” Crean said. “So it’s fantastic to see him make that shot.” Follow reporter John Bauernfeind on Twitter @JohnBauernfeind.

HOOPS WITH HOOP

Hoosiers prove to be just good enough in win EVANSTON, Ill. — It was a win. That’s all that matters. When IU (15-11, 5-8) took down Northwestern (12-16, 5-10) Saturday night 61-56, it wasn’t always the prettiest of affairs. The Hoosiers finished the game shooting 27 percent from behind the arc, and shot a woeful 9-of-18 from the free throw line. But balance and consistency outweighed the lack of sharpness. IU secured their first road win in 42 days. Will Sheehey, Noah Vonleh, Troy Williams and Yogi Ferrell all scored 12 points. Sheehey and Vonleh finished with identical lines, both going 5-of-11 from the field. Ferrell was 5-of-10 and Williams was the most efficient, finishing 5-of-7. When IU has this kind of consistent scoring balance from four of their starters, they are tough to beat. IU doesn’t have to play perfect. They just have to play good enough. This is something lacking from this current squad. They either play out of their minds, or lay an egg. Gray has not

been an IU color this year. But credit has to be given to the Wildcats. The first words out of Coach Chris Collins’ mouth in the post-game press conference were, “I’m so proud of my team.” He absolutely should be. Collins said Northwestern had only about seven viable players in the rotation due to injuries and suspensions. “Chris is going to be an outstanding coach for a long, long time,” IU Coach Tom

Crean said. Northwestern cut it to a four-point game with 2 minutes 21 seconds remaining. But a Troy Williams layup followed by an enormous Sheehey three as the shot clock wound down gave IU the necessary cushion. The Wildcats are not an exceptionally talented team. But man, they bust their behinds. That’s why this Hoosier win was so impressive. Nobody wearing a cream and crimson uniform had an

amazing day. The best performance was Williams, who had a Big Ten-high 12 points and no turnovers in 23 minutes. Williams usually has no regard for his own safety. He flies around like a mad man, not afraid of breaking his or his opponents back. This aggression has both good and bad consequences. But Williams has had better games. Every player on that IU roster has had better performances. The Hoosier attack wasn’t proficient, but balanced. IU fans have seen this team win with their A game (Wisconsin and Michigan). Against Northwestern in a campus brimming with A’s everywhere, IU won with their B game. Which is even more impressive, arguably, for this team. —ehoopfer@indiana.edu

IU Coach Curt Miller said he wanted to send his senior class out of Assembly Hall with a win. He got his wish. The Hoosiers (18-9, 5-9) never trailed and coasted to a 79-61 victory against Illinois (9-18, 2-12) Saturday on senior night. “We have a lot of young kids that contribute on the floor, and they played their hearts and souls out for that senior class today,” Miller said. “(I’m) really excited for our seniors on senior day to go out with a victory in Assembly Hall.” IU opened the game on a 20-5 run, during which the Hoosiers’ starting guards combined for 16 early points. Quick hands early on the defensive end led to four steals during the game’s opening minutes. Those steals led to 13 points off of Illinois turnovers, helping IU build its 15-point lead. Turning turnovers into points became a major scoring source for IU, which scored 27 points off 16 Illini turnovers. “We wanted to run early in transition,” Miller said. “I thought our defense was really aggressive early, and we got a lot of deflections which set the tempo.” Illinois responded to IU’s quick start with a 7-0 run of its own to cut the deficit to eight. That would be the closest Illinois got to threatening the Hoosier lead. Senior forward Simone Deloach scored on a layup in the post, and freshman guard Larryn Brooks walked into a 3-pointer to spark a quick 5-0 run and build a 13-point lead. The Illini never got within nine points the rest of the game. Illinois was without 6-foot-3 freshman forward Jacqui Grant — the team’s third-leading scorer — who missed the game due to illness. With Grant’s absence, the Hoosiers put extra

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL (18-9,5-9) vs. Illinois (9-8,2-12) W, 79-61 emphasis on attacking the Illini’s remaining post-players. The Hoosiers scored 42 points in the paint and got a career-high 14 point performance from Deloach. IU’s success in the paint opened the floor for its 3-point shooters to score from beyond the arc. The freshman guard trio of Brooks, Alexis Gassion and Taylor Agler converted on all nine of IUs made 3-pointers, setting the IU single-season record for made 3-pointers with 206 in the process. Brooks led all scorers with 20 points and finished one assist shy of a doubledouble. Agler, Gassion and Deloach all joined Brooks with double-digit scoring, and senior forward Tabitha Gerardot added nine points of her own. IU’s starting five accounted for 73 of the team’s 79 points. Gassion said creating balance between 3-point shooting and attacking the post was a major talking point in practice this week. “That was one of our goals,” Gassion said. “We wanted to balance inside and out, so we wanted the post to get some catches, but the guards to shoot some threes, too.” Miller said IU still has improving to do if they want to continue to win games this year. With two games remaining before the Big Ten Tournament and a potential postseason tournament left to play, he said IU has yet to play a complete game where all five positions were playing well this season. Miller said the quick start against the Illini made up for IU’s mistakes. “We weren’t perfect,” Miller said. “There was still some scout mistakes. There was still some fundamental mistakes, but we survived them because we had a cushion.”

Artists show work at Convention Center

Driftwood sculptures, expensive paintings, and handmade clothing filled the Bloomington Monroe County Convention Center on Saturday when more than 70 local artists and artisans showed their work for the Bloomington Local Artists Showcase. Artisans showed and sold their wares at individual booths from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday. People visited the showcase to explore and purchase works of art from local creators. It was the third-annual showcase organized by Ivy Tech Community College and Bloom Magazine. Admission was $2. Almost 1,000 people attended last year’s showcase, according to Bloom’s website. The artists included wood craftsmen, painters and weavers. Some of the artists were represented by agents, while others sold their wares personally. Professional woodworker David Reuter was present at Saturday’s showcase. He has worked with wood for 20 years, and said he has sold his pieces for five years. Reuter said he attends showcases whenever he can to sell and show his wares. “I like selling the stuff

that I make,” Reuter said. “It’s fun making it, and, if I can sell it to someone, I know they’ll enjoy it. Even if I don’t sell to someone, I like showing off, too.” All of the pieces Reuter sells and shows are made from dead or storm-damaged trees. His 100-acre tree farm gives Reuter plenty of lumber to work with for his projects. His wares had numerous labels for the different types of wood and the species of tree from which they came. “I could haul wood 24 hours a day, seven days a week until I was 150 years old and never run out of storm-damaged or dead wood,” Reuter said. While some of the artists like Reuter were independent craftsmen, other artists relied on a collective to represent their works. Gathering, one of the artist collectives represented at the Showcase, was founded by Bloomington resident Talia Halliday. Her collective presented various mediums of art. “It started with just a bunch of artists getting together and showing their work,” Halliday said. Gathering has staged similar events in the recent past. In addition to shows last year, Halliday said Gathering had a month-long Holiday Pop-Up Shop during November and December at

Fountain Square Mall. “Soon we are going to have a fundraiser in May to open our permanent shop,” Halliday said. “There will be a benefit concert and a silent auction for donated pieces of art.” Gathering members will organize more events in the future to showcase art. “We’re also going to have an event in June called the Bloomington Open Studios Tour,” Halliday said. “There will be an illustrator, a jeweler, a book binder and who knows what else.” Julie Hill, another representative at the showcase, spoke for Bell Trace Senior Living Community at the Showcase. She, along with other employees, showed the works of art created by Bell Trace residents in their various art programs. “This is our first time at a big show,” Hill said. “We have had our own art shows before, but we’ve never done something of this size before.” Hill said the artistic expression of the elderly was a subject close to her heart. She recounted the story of singing for the final time with her aunt who was dying of Alzheimer’s, and she said she wanted to give others same moment that she had. “It’s one thing to make art with older people. It’s another to celebrate their art for the public,” Hill said.

Rapper Kanye West said James Blake is his favorite artist, according to Rolling Stone. Before the release of “Watch the Throne,” West invited Blake into the studio to hear some of the songs.

‘Art and a Movie’ event remembers Rembrandt BY ALISON GRAHAM akgraham@indiana.edu

When museum visitors gaze at artwork on the walls of the IU Art Museum, they might not realize the works’ meanings go deeper than just the visual elements. The purpose of the museum’s “Art and a Movie” events is to remind visitors that every artist has a background story and events that influenced each piece of their work. The museum presented its first “Art and a Movie” event of the spring semester Sunday, focusing on Dutch painter Rembrandt van Rijn’s work. Each event begins with a short lecture about the artist followed by a movie at the IU Cinema, in order to enhance participant’s knowledge of both the work and the artist. The event began with a talk by Heidi M. Gealt, the museum’s director and curator of Western art before 1800. The talk was free and open to the public. “Heidi gave an insightful introduction into Rembrandt’s works and relationships,” Nan Brewer, curator of works on paper, said during the introduction before the screening. After the lecture, participants walked to the cinema to watch Alexander Korda’s 1936 movie, “Rembrandt.” The movie began at the height of Rembrandt’s reputation as a famous painter.

Bloomington resident Nic Newby got on the Bishop’s stage Saturday night to tell a crowd of people about the time he almost burned a hotel down trying to cook on a band tour. It was just one tale from the Bloomington Storytelling Project’s event. Storytellers and listeners gathered for the event. People recollected their best or worst experiences with music. Stories varied from the development of the music scene in Bloomington to strange memories of old band tours. The Bloomington Storytelling Project began in 2009, fueled by the passion of oral tradition. Dan Stevenson, who is part of a team that oversees the storytelling events and produces material for WFHB-FM 91.3, said his friend Laura Grover started the project about five years ago. “It is a novelty,” Stevenson said. “There are other groups around, but it is nice to have this.”

Over the years, people in the Bloomington community volunteered to help preserve the oral tradition. Some people have used the presence of an audience to improve themselves or their storytelling methods. Mia Beach, host of Saturday’s storytelling event, said she became involved about three years ago. “It was a show-and-tell event where we all brought in objects and told stories about them,” she said. “I did it as an exercise in getting rid of my stage fright.” Each storytelling event has a theme, and all people are encouraged to participate. “We try not to be exclusive,” Beach said. “We try to be inclusive. So we pick a theme, and we promote it, and the first eight to 10 people to respond are the ones we pick.” “Full Moon Trance Dance,” a story told by WFHB music director Jim Manion, was about Bloomington’s music scene and how it changed through the years. He described how the bars reacted to new music

genres in the 1980s. Manion recalled one night in particular when a collection of bands brought a bunch of people together who were ready to experience the different styles of music. “Eight-hundred people came between the hours 9 p.m. to 3:30 a.m.,” Manion said. “It was zero degrees that night.” He said he was in a band called the Quacks Pistols at the time. “It was my first band that I was in that I joined in the DIY spirit of punk music,” Manion said. The Bloomington Storytelling Project records and presents certain stories through WFHB on a half hour program called “The Porch Swing.” All stories, more than 200 of which have been archived according to Stevenson, have potential of being aired on “The Porch Swing.” “As a person that is drawn to stories, it keeps our youth alive,” Stevenson said. “It keeps us interested in each other. It keeps us interested in the myth of one another.”

Saskia died, Rembrandt’s fame began to falter, especially when he unveiled his famous painting, “Nightwatch.” The men of the police force commissioned “Nightwatch” as a portrait showing their rank and nobility. However, Rembrandt took the commission in his own creative direction after his wife passed away and it was not received well. At the unveiling of the painting, the audience was shocked. Rembrandt became the laughing-stock of the town. The remaining portion of the movie followed Rembrandt’s journey through bankruptcy, as well as his relationship with his

former maid, Hendrickje Stoffels. “This event is kind of special,” attendee Haeryoung Ryu said. “I like the combination of art and a movie.” Ryu said she decided to attend the event because she had heard of Rembrandt and his famous paintings but knew very little else about him. The date of the next “Art and a Movie” event will be announced on the art museum’s website. It will discuss the life and work of French artist Henri Matisse.

Baseball loses 2 in Arizona, falls to 2-5 BY EVAN HOOPFER ehoopfer@indiana.edu

IU had trouble getting off the field with two outs this past weekend. “You get an out away, and it seems like every little mistake we make, teams are capitalizing,” IU Coach Tracy Smith said. The struggles continued for the Hoosiers, going 1-2 in the PAC-12 Big Ten challenge to fall to 2-5 on the year. “You’ve got to dig your way out,” Smith said. “And not panic and press. The more you press, the more difficult the results.” On Friday, IU throttled Washington 8-2. Both the pitching and the defense were proficient. Senior pitcher Joey DeNato went six innings and gave up just one earned run. Junior catcher Kyle Schwarber went 4-for-5 with three RBI. This year, the Hoosiers are 2-0 when DeNato starts and subsequently 0-5 when he doesn’t. IU fell 5-4 Saturday during a 15-inning game against Utah that lasted more than four and a half hours. The game was back and forth, featuring five lead changes. In the 13th inning, IU took a 4-3 lead and the Utes were down to their final out. But freshman Jake Kelzer couldn’t get the save, as Cory Hunt recorded an RBI single on the first pitch he saw to tie up the game. In the 15th inning, it was again Hunt at the plate with two outs. And once again, Hunt came through with the RBI single, this time on a 1-and-1 count, to score the winning run. “That was frustrating,” sophomore pitcher Will

Coursen-Carr said of the loss. “We fought hard.” Schwarber and junior first baseman Sam Travis finished the game a combined 2-for-13 in the game. The next day against No. 2 Oregon State, the team that ended IU’s season last year in the College World Series, the Hoosiers were trailing just 2-1 in the seventh-inning stretch. Once again, it was twoout woes for the cream and crimson. This time the damage happened in the bottom of the seventh. After Coursen-Carr got two outs, he was pulled. He went 6.2 innings and struck out six. He gave up five runs but only two were earned. “I would say a B-minus,” he said when asked to grade himself. After Coursen-Carr came out, that’s when the wheels fell off. With two outs, Oregon State managed to score six runs to put the game out of reach. All six runs were unearned also. “Yeah it sucked,” Coursen-Carr said. “But that’s baseball.” The Beavers 8-1 victory dropped IU to a 2-5 record this year. Despite starting the season No. 3 in the preseason poll and opening the year 2-5, both Coursen-Carr and Smith said the team isn’t worried or anxious. “It’s a proven offensive team,” Smith said. “They’re the same human beings that we’ve had in uniform for the last couple years. We know they’re going to hit.” Follow reporter Evan Hoopfer on Twitter @EvanHoopfer.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 7 “It’s pretty intense, and doesn’t change really much from the fall to spring,” Schroeder said. “Our weight carts generally get harder throughout the year.” Sophomore goalkeeper Jessica Gaudreault said her position requires a great deal of leg conditioning, including reps with medicine balls and weight belts. “It’s a lot of technical skill work, too,” Gaudreault said. “We all do hand-eye coordination drills pretty much twice a week.” Amid juggling practices and training, school and a social life sometimes fall by the wayside. King said the hardest part of being a college athlete is time management. “The better you are at it, the more resilient you are because you are finding those places where you get downtime or you’re making sure you’re eating correctly and re-hydrating,” King said. “We’re probably not terrific at it, but we’re not below average at it either.” Time management is especially important for the team because most of its season is spent on the road. Samantha Dewig, the team’s sports information director, said water polo is meant to be an outdoor game. “Technically, most of the time water polo is an outdoor sport, that’s why we go to warmer weather to play,” Dewig said. “There aren’t very many Midwest teams. So it makes a lot more sense for a Big Ten university who has a larger travel budget to go to the smaller California schools.” Gerrity has been playing water polo since fourth grade and said being conditioned in time management her whole life helped her prepare for college. “The social life can be lacking,” she said. “I’m premed so I do a lot more studying than the typical student. But it’s the life I’ve chosen. You make sacrifices for things you care about and water polo has been a really big part of my life, so it’s worth sacrificing for.”
